Inflammation at the Tissue-Electrode Interface in a Case of Rapid Deterioration in Hearing Performance Leading to Explant After Cochlear Implantation

Abstract: Objective: The reasons for soft failure after cochlear implantation require investigation. This study proposes a method to study and characterize the tissue response to the array in a case of soft failure in a person undergoing reimplantation. Case: The woman in her 50s, with an underlying autoimmune condition, received a cochlear implant using hearing preservation technique after developing profound hearing loss more than 2 kHz with a moderate loss of … Show more

“…The inflammatory response to this is likely as has been described above and should resolve as part of a normal wound healing response. However, in some individuals there is a chronic inflammatory response, which promotes the excessive deposition of fibrotic tissue around the array, which develops long after the surgical intervention, leading in some cases to reduced performance with the device (Bas et al, 2015; Hough et al, 2021; Nadol et al, 2008, 2014).…”

“…400 × 400 mm 2 , which allows imaging specimens with an effective diameter less than 40 cm. Using this system at the 3D XRH facility, a range of soft tissues have been imaged to date, including healthy and fibrotic human lung FFPE samples 2 , lymph node biopsies 29 , human pulmonary lymphatics 30 , placenta 31 , HSC-3 cell-xenografted severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mouse tissue 32 , bone marrow biopsies, as well as hard tissues 33 and micro-implants in situ such as cochlear implants 34 .…”
